That's pretty cool. How did you waterproof it where the shaft comes through the bottom of the tub?

Interesting setup. Those disks are (also)the bees knees for sharpening chisels, plane blades, knives, Tungsten tipped lathe tools, TIG electrodes, etc. If you know any facetors persuade them to throw a worn 600 and something coarser your way rather than in the bin. Too worn for facetors still has plenty of cutting power left for sharpening tools.

Couple large silicone washers and caulk sealed it

Nice job. There's nothing like making your own tools to grind and polish rocks!

I will ask, what rpm is the motor and also the size, HP? Thinking about making something like that.

I would think 1/8 hp should work. I have a 1/6 hp motor mounted for my leather polish pads (used with diamond paste) and have never felt it's anywhere close to underpowered.
